More record of ragnarok ocs, this time direct from India! I really wanted to show these that I had saved, but without further ado, I present to you yasodhara and her son rahula!

Yasodhara was a princess of ancient India whose kingdom was neighboring the one of Siddharta (later known as Buddha) so her family used to visit this kingdom a lot for political reasons, it was thanks to this that she met Siddharta.

Yasodhara never liked to be the center of attention, preferring to be alone in her gardens and enjoying music and dancing, but this made Siddhartha curious about the quiet princess.

The more they got to know each other, the more interested they were in each other, and this interest evolved into love, so upon seeing the connection between these two, their parents decided to arrange their marriage.

Yasodhara was happy with Siddharta, however after what happened with Jataka she did not expect that her husband would decide to leave overnight (and just when their son had just been born).

Yasodhara was left heartbroken and ended up raising her son Rahula with the help of his paternal grandfather, Siddharta's father, and some good-hearted suitors who decided to help her (who knows, maybe they became her lovers😏).

Buddha ended up meeting Yasodhara again when Rahula was 6 years old, but unlike the mythology, here Rahula and Yasodhara do not recognize Buddha as their father and husband, since for them he lost that title when he decided to abandon them.

Rahula grew up hearing stories from his father, however his words did not match his actions, Rahula grew up thinking that his father saw him and his mother as an obstacle on his path to enlightenment (in fact one of the meanings of the name Rahula is exactly obstacle) so he never wanted to be recognized as his son, preferring to be recognized as the son of yasodhara.

Both Rahula and Yasodhara had contact with Buddha again at some point but their relationship with him remained cold, and this continued for years and years until Valhalla.

Both Rahula and Yasodhara achieved enlightenment, both are highly recognized in the pantheon and are highly praised.

Rahula is a reckless and very cheeky prince, he really likes spending time with his mother or with one of the suitors (whom he calls his surrogate parents), he is someone very sociable and fun but he knows how to take things seriously unlike Buddha. .

Rahula is irritable and very temperamental, but he can also be kind and gentle with the people he cares about, although he is also somewhat tsundere😅

Yasodhara continues to maintain her quiet and reserved personality, but remains a kind and positive woman who loves her family.

Yasodhara came to join Buddha in his religion but it is really difficult for her to forgive him even though she still loves him:)

Más ocs de record of ragnarok ¡esta vez directo de India! Realmente quería mostrar estos que tenía guardados, pero sin más que agregar ¡les presento a yasodhara y a su hijo rahula!

Yasodhara fue una princesa de la antigua India cuyo reino era vecino al de siddharta(después conocido como buda) por lo que su familia solía ir bastante a visitar este reino por razones políticas, fue gracias a esto que conoció a siddharta.

Yasodhara nunca le gustó ser el centro de atención, prefiriendo estar sola en sus jardines y disfrutando de la música y de la danza, pero esto hizo que siddharta sintiera curiosidad por esta princesa callada.

Entre más se conocían ambos se interesaban más el uno por el otro, y este interés evolucionó a amor, por lo que al ver la conexión entre estos dos sus padres decidieron arreglar su matrimonio.

Yasodhara era feliz con siddharta, sin embargo tras lo ocurrido con jataka ella no esperaba que su esposo decidiera irse de la noche a la mañana(y justo cuando recién había nacido su hijo).

Yasodhara quedo con el corazón roto y terminó criando a su hijo rahula con ayuda de su abuelo paterno el padre de siddharta y algunos pretendientes de buen corazón que decidieron ayudarla(quien sabe, quizás se volvieron sus amantes o parte de un haren suyo😏).

Buda terminó volviendo a encontrarse con yasodhara cuando rahula tenía 6 años, pero a diferencia de la mitologia aquí rahula y yasodhara no reconocen a buda como su padre y esposo, ya que para ellos el perdió ese título cuando decidió abandonarlos.

Rahula creció oyendo historias de su padre, sin embargo sus palabras no coincidían con sus acciones, rahula creció pensando que su padre lo veía a él y a su madre como una traba en su camino a la iluminación(de hecho uno de los significados del nombre rahula es exactamente traba) por lo que nunca quiso ser reconocido como su hijo, prefiriendo ser reconocido como hijo de yasodhara.

Tanto rahula y yasodhara volvieron a tener contacto con buda en algún momento pero su relación con el se mantuvo fría, y esto se mantuvo durante años y años hasta el valhalla.

Tanto rahula como yasodhara alcanzaron la iluminación, ambos son muy reconocidos en el panteon y son bastante alabados.

Rahula es un príncipe temerario y muy descarado, le gusta mucho pasar tiempo con su madre o con alguno de los pretendientes(a quienes llama sus padres sustitutos), es alguien muy sociable y divertido pero que sabe tomarse las cosas con seriedad a diferencia de buda.

Rahula es irritable y muy temperamental, pero también puede ser amable y gentil con la gente que le importa, aunque también es algo tsundere😅

Yasodhara sigue manteniendo su personalidad callada y reservada, pero sigue siendo una mujer amable y positiva que ama a su familia.

The Quest for Buddhism (112)

Buddhist cosmology

Brahmaviharas – From the teachings preached by the Buddha to his son Rahula (Ref)

“O Rahula, deepen your meditation on loving-kindness. Because if you deepen your meditation on loving-kindness, any resentment, hatred will disappear.

O Rahula, deepen your meditation on compassion. Because if you deepen your meditation on compassion, all harmful intentions will disappear.

O Rahula, deepen your meditation on sympathetic joy. Because if you deepen your meditation on sympathetic joy, any dissatisfaction will disappear.

O Rahula, deepen your meditation of equanimity. Because if you deepen your meditation on equanimity, any anger will disappear.”

Excerpt from Maha-rahulovada-sutta in Majjhima Nikaya (MN)]

仏教の探求 (112)

仏教の宇宙論

四無量心 (しむりょうしん) 〜ブッダが息子のラーフラ (羅睺羅:らごら参照)に説いた教法より

”ラーフラよ、慈の瞑想を深めなさい。なぜなら、慈の瞑想を深めれば、どんな瞋恚 (しんに: 憎悪)も消えてしまうからである。

ラーフラよ、悲の瞑想を深めなさい。なぜなら、悲の瞑想を深めれば、どんな害意も消えてしまうからである。

ラーフラよ、喜の瞑想を深めなさい。なぜなら、喜の瞑想を深めれば、どんな不満も消えてしまうからである。

ラーフラよ、捨の瞑想を深めなさい。なぜなら、捨の瞑想を深めれば、どんな怒りも消えてしまうからである。”
